John Boy Saint

Powder puff from Ings

Ings obviously broke Neves - that means Traore who scored v city is let off the leash

Thank Charlie Austin for going Parklife!!

Wow! Golly gosh

Pheeewwwww

Watford - upset the Apple Cart with an early goal at spuds

Grass needs cutting

Trouble is if he ended up rotting on full pay, and had a negative attitude, you then have a stink about the place and a rotten apple rolling about too! He said himself he didn't want to be here. I know Man United are no great shakes this season - but the Longstaff boys for the Toon suddenly gave their midfield a bit more solidity. Harrison Reed being the tenacious player he is might have kept Romeu. PEH, and JWP on their toes right now their is very little to worry their names on the team sheet.

Think in reality of the 15 wins in soon to be 61 home games was about to become a reality pretty early on, most folks saw it as being a safe bet as the game trundled on - as said elsewhere the afternoon was summed up on the final whistle when pretty much everyone left in the ground wasn’t prepared to waste any more energy on the team and Boo the performance. Doesn't matter which way we were kicking, you could have kept the Chelsea fans in the car park all game and it would have still been like a library.

15 in 61 - if you have sat through all 61 of those games as I would imagine a core volume of the supporters sat in the ground have, you can understand the wholesale lack of enthusiasm cascading down from the stands.

The swing and a miss was against Palace for a goal that Benteke had no chance whatsoever of missing for a change. You are right to think it was against Villa as Forster had a similar brain fart in that game too. The ball was heading towards him with acres of space he hesitated then decided to depart the safety of his line to get the ball, trouble was the player in pursuit of the ball, despite both him and his legs heading into the twilight of their career, was Gabbi Agbonlahor, probably one of the most rapid players across a football pitch that many of us have ever seen in his heyday! He switched his legs on got to the ball first, rounded Forster 1-0 to the Villa.

I'm glad it wasn't just me!.......I can't think of the last time Saints scored and I didn't get up to celebrate: weird. "On the half hour something totally unexpected happens as Valery takes a throw-in to Redmond and gets the ball back and then takes on five Chelsea players, getting to the by-line before squaring for that man Danny Ings to knock past Kepa and into the net to give us a completely unexpected lifeline. Though it’s a brilliant goal, it’s kind of hard to get excited given the shambles that has preceded it. It’s a slightly weird feeling". It just looked like Valery just thought "sod this buggering about I'm having a crack"...............some winkle behind thought it was Redmond: yeah right mush! can tell you're not here every week. Once again a top report, nails hit squarely on head and I am annoyed again (thanks). think the whole afternoon can be summed up by the fact that what crowd was left at full time couldn't raise themselves to boo on the final whistle, we had all wasted a perfectly good afternoon and more than enough energy on that lot.

Keep the purse strings tied tight we bob about in trouble, flirting with the bottom of the league and the dangers of dropping out of the money spa, making the 20% left to buy cheaper as the value is under threat. Even with a couple of Billion in your pocket the principle over the last few Millions owed matters as Billionaires normally like to keep score. The money is insignificant its the numbers they like.

Think he looks like he is made of Emmental, first goal yesterday was just one of those things but he was well off his line looking to recreate Bournemouths 3rd, Yoshida was much faster at vainly hoping to hook it out, the Mount goal it seemed to just go through him like he was a hologram, the third was a kick in the guts all round, the fourth, being nutmegged through legs more open than a whores on a busy Saturday night.......................I think we have established beyond any doubt in the Premier League the standard of player you can pick up for between £15m-£20m is not going to have you knocking on the door of the Champions League, more likely stamping on the trapdoor to the Championship!

Yup he is still playing - at Shandong Luneng along with Marouane Fellani. Still rattling them in the back of the net at a prolific rate, seems to be maturing with age too 16 in 32 last year - 24 in 32 this year. Given his age we got good money for him, and far play to him pocketing £50m + in wages since he left, ain't going to see him go poor in his old age. My daughter has been following him on social media since he left - seems to have a very very nice life.

Wasn't there something around Christmas in Koemans last season where the results were a bit pants. A bizarre 4-0 Boxing day win v Arsenal the only bright spot and by the time we got knocked out of the cup by Palace (?) there were rumours of grumblings behind the scenes at Saints from a reliable ITK - and the hierarchy weren't best pleased with various goings on, on and off the pitch. Then we hit a purple patch and went on an unbeaten run that propelled us up into automatic Europa League qualification. Seems since the departure of Les and Ralph K - it seems like there is a void of that level of club management to kick Ralphs backside (if needs be).

...........and the chances of Southampton Nil - again ain't going to enthuse the casual supporter at that price. Bit like a one off World exclusive opportunity to see all last weeks episodes of Eastenders "the Directors Cut!" in an IMAX cinema including an introduction from Nasty Nick for a tenner, can't see he queues for that stretching round the block for that either. Southampton 2 Chelsea 0 - might well be worthy of the Doof - Doofers at the final whistle though Paul Tierney on the whistle for this one......... can't think of anything off the top of my head where he has done us wrong: unless he was the one who let Man City have another 2 minutes beyond the added time shown allowing them to score a winner up at theirs season before last.

Been doing that for the last 3 seasons - but when you have some players who earn in a week to kick a bag of wind about what I have to word my bloody nuts off to earn in a year and seemingly only capable of doing that once in a while - then a manager who makes strange selections - the effort to continue doing so with the same level of enthusiasm wears a bit bloody thin. I listened on Solent as I was unable to get a stream, blimey Dave and Adam sounded as exasperated as the comments in the match thread the longer the second half wore on!!!

Blimey he’s got a selection for the change right

Here comes the hair

Listening on Solent - very balanced version of SaintsWeb!

We are too bloody polite with our passing

Classic Whispering Dave!! Diddly-Dee and Kick up the backside!

Another red for the oppos - come on then you numpties

Full autopsy on Solent Gunn was a bit shabby
